Q: Can I please get your opinion on CYB? It’s been a long term hold in an RRSP and has done well. Do you see it as a continuing long term hold in an RRSP or maybe sell half and put into something else? It is over 10% now.

Q: XTD is a split share corp that invests in shares of TD bank. TD has had some issues but is now seen as somewhat undervalued, with good potential upside. XTD, currently at $4.00, pays a 15% dividend, monthly, as long at the net asset value is above $12.50. It is currently at 12.95. The risk would seem to be the risk that the TD stock underperforms. Would appreciate your thoughts.

Q: What are your thoughts on this fund?
Long term performance and yield are both very strong, in excess of 9%. No covered calls but does have some leverage. Not sure how they achieve 9%+ yield without covered calls but the yield seems consistent and large portion of distribution is capital gains, eligible dividends and ROC.
Never invested in a closed end fund before. What is the difference between this and an ETF?

Q: Why are they consolidating the shares? They are nowhere near a delisting price.
Why do you think the market is unphased by the yield reduction. Even an anticipated cut almost always creates a drop. Occasionally a boost of course.

Q: DPG dropped 20% on june 16th,probably since it cut its usualy stable dividend, for first time since 2016..I own it since a few years in my RRSP : is it still an "acceptable" investment for revenue,or is it too risky to be kept any longer?
Q: I would appreciate an update regarding the payout ratio for this company, and your assessment of both the likelihood of a dividend cut and the relative safety of the dividend after, say, a 50% trim (which today would still leave about 6.5% payout).
Thanks!
